In 2018, the global economy continued its growth momentum in 2017. The annual growth rate was 3.2%, slightly lower than the 3.3% in 2017. It is estimated that the global economy will be in a downturn in 2019, and the growth rate will slow down to 2.8%, lower than 3%.
Owing to the fact that Taiwan's economic growth is affected by international economy, the economic performance in 2019 will continue to slow down extending the trend in the second half of 2018. The growth rate is about 2.19%, a decline of 0.44 percent from the 2.63% in 2018. Taiwan's economic growth in 2019 is mainly supported by domestic demand, with domestic demand contributing about 1.69 percent in economic growth. As for the foreign trade sector, since the growth of import was lower than that of export, the net export was turned from a negative contribution in the previous year (-0.16 percent) to a positive contribution of 0.49 percent.
